Daily Motives for Alcohol and Marijuana Use as Predictors of Simultaneous Use Among Young Adults.

CONCLUSIONS: SAM use on a given day was primarily associated with enhancement and conformity motives. Social motives were more strongly linked to alcohol use, and to some extent coping motives were linked to marijuana use in this young adult sample. Further examination of situation-specific motives and contexts of use is needed to inform development of real-time interventions for SAM use and consequences.
